Introducing a new form of grit in the Peregrine 7. Like runner like shoe, this ride doesn’t fear the off road, taking serious grip of every terrain with a PWRTRAC outsole. The TPU exoskeleton secures the foot with added protection from the elements, while EVERUN cushions every footstrike with resilience and energy.

Kyle KDestroyed the shoe with the new heel designThe Peregrine 6 was my favorite trail runner. I went through 5 pairs eating up the trail and nothing else I've used came close. The new design changed the heel in a way that makes it too loose and it slips with every step. A complete disaster for me. Buying all the version 6 I can find. Hope they fix it for the next version.

MooseAlmost there Intitial impressions are good
+ mid foot and forefoot fit are great. Spot on. Nice room in the toe box.
+ it's a comfortable shoe
- the tongue is too short , like defect short. I have trouble lacing the right shoe without going over the tongue onto my ankle. That shouldn't happen.
- the heel counter is too shallow in my opinion. My foot sits too much on top and not enough in. Perhaps it was an adjustment to the 6 , but like the tongue issue , it was immediately noticeable
Summary : clean up the back 1/2 of the shoe and you got yourself an absolute winner. Thank you.

planetrunnerCanadian trail toughThese shoes sum up the idea of embracing the spirit of (trail) adventure. You can throw knee-high mud puddles, rocky flash descents, melting ice patches, river crossings at this shoe and it'll adapt each time. Year over year, the Peregrines continue to be the trail running shoe I reach for to take on whatever a Canadian trail has to offer.
The Peregrine's strength is its versatility and its relative comfort. While the lugs hint shorter distances, the shoe can be pushed from 10ks to 50ks with enough comfort to not even think about swapping in a maximalist shoe. The toebox offers some room to splay with enough rockplate protection underneath. The midfoot can be dialled in snug and securely -- needing some tightening after running through water. The heel cup is softer on the ankle than the blister-generating previous models. Although I found a heel lock lacing pattern to be necessary to keep my foot from sliding on steep downhills.
The build quality of the shoe continues to get progressively better. The flat laces hold tight when locked down. The overlay has more protection in key little toe and big toe tearing hot spots. And the colour is FINALLY the colour of trails: mud black. The neon lugs shed trail debris fairly easily, rarely even needing to use a stick or nearby tree stump to kick out any underfoot trail buildup. Refinements like a strap of elastic to tuck the shoe laces under would be great, but it almost doesn't fit the rugged character of the shoe. Everything on the Peregrine works, every time.
If your definition of trail running is challenging and gnarly (and not fire roads and park paths) the Peregrine will let you focus on having fun and not worrying at all about what's on your feet.

L.CoyoteThe Best Iteration of the Peregrine YetHistorically, one always paid for the Peregrine twice. First at the store, and then on the trail. On my first run with the Peregrine 6's I neglected to tape up and ended up walking home, shoes in hand and heels bloody. This was despite having owned many Peregrine's prior to the 6's. The blisters were the price one paid for the ability to find purchase on any surface, to fling mud without care.
the Peregrine 7 changed that; every negative aspect of the shoe seems to have disappeared. The hard heel cup is gone, yet there is no discernable difference in control. The front of the shoe has changed as well: on all five of my old Peregrine's I have holes where my big toes rubbed through the uppers. The toe box is now covered in much tougher material, hopefully meaning I wont be able to see my socks pushing through the upper after 200 or so miles.
This shoe is known for being ornery, and would only submit to a new owner after a blood sacrifice. The Peregrine used to be a trail shoe you bought because the positives vastly outweighed the negatives. No longer.
The Peregrine 7 retains the meaty teeth of it's predecessors, and will still give you everything you need to fly through every mud-soaked, rain-lashed trail with glorious ease. The Peregrine 7 also has enough cushioning to let you navigate the roads to and from the trail with ease, which is a departure from form when it comes to neutral trail shoes.
This shoe is still the Peregrine you have come to love, with none of the qualities you tried your best not to hate.
